This project examines gene expression in mature sperm and its implications for evolution, particularly focusing on the zebrafish model. It aims to understand how haploid gene expression affects sperm characteristics and whether it leads to conflicting selection pressures in different life stages.
Unlike in plants, selection during the haploid (gametic) phase of the life cycle has been assumed to be insignificant in animals.
The main reason for this assumption is that gene expression in mature sperm was thought to be absent due to the densely packed nuclear DNA.
However, there is increasing evidence that several genes are indeed expressed in mature sperm and hence may be under selection.
Importantly, gene expression in mature sperm may lead to antagonistic selection between haploid and di…
